This is why I switched over to Mac back in 2022. I knew that I didn't want to move forward with Windows but had to get a new computer anyways. I already have an iPhone and a Mac Mini M1 was only $700. Thanks Microsoft for forcing a Windows user of 30 years away from your OS.

If I had an android phone I would prob use Linux without a doubt. But having the iPhone and Mac ecosystem integration is important. At least I know Apple will won’t force updates on my computer and makes updates that makes sense. Tired of Microsoft throwing shit at the wall in terms of user experience

You may be able to dual boot if you ever felt like it, I'm not personally familiar with a lot of apple, but the arm chips are nice for their power consumption and a nice way to develop arm apps for pc
